Forgotten Kaizer Chiefs winger Tebogo Potsane is edging closer to his return to the team after months on the sidelines.
Potsane has been out since off-season due to injury, but in early October, Chiefs did confirm that he is to return in November.
At the time, Chiefs said Potsane had damaged his ligament on his ankle but he was making progress, and this was corroborated by Nasreddine Nabi.
“Tebogo Potsane went for a scan which showed some ligament damage [in his ankle], so we expect him to be out for around three weeks,” said Amakhosi physiotherapist David Milner at the time.
Now, the left-footed winger is nearing his return to competitive football after being spotted at training on Thursday.
Potsane is yet to feature under newly assembled technical team led by Nasreddine Nabi.
In his absence on the left-hand side, Chiefs have had to play either Mduduzi Shabalala or Wandile Duba of late.
The two youngsters are assisted by Bradley Cross who often plays as a left-wing back for Chiefs in recent matches.
With Potsane coming back to the setup, it will be very interesting to see how Nabi uses him in competitive matches.
One observation, so far though, is that Duba works very hard both offensively and defensively.
And this means Potsane will have to offer the same if he is to reclaim his spot in the Chiefs starting line-up upon his return.
His versatility allows him to also play as a right-winger similar to how Christian Saile plays whenever he’s given a chance.
